Comment: Simon Waldram is a musician from
Notthinghamshire, UK who has issued at least a dozen of outings since the
mid-00`s. His 5-track issue embarks on with a fabulous psyched-out blast of
conveying overwhelming energy and galvanized burning inside its numerous
circles and layers. It may resemble slightly the aesthetic of Jesus And The
Mary Chain. Fortunately nothing will change in the next track Revolution Summer which is an intriguing
mongrel of jangle pop induced easiness and arrogance of feedback loaded noise
pop. Later on, acoustic guitars, and arrangements on cellos and saxophones will
be added to the blend, however, the artist upholds partly the aforementioned
sharpened sonic compartment to make up viable contrast within the mix. However,
acoustic guitar led compositions are more restrained and contemplative and even
eerie in an artsy way. Indeed, some space is conjured up around lone string
chords with slight yet poignant effects. For instance, Colliding Circles rides on such an effective gimmick. At these time
Simon Waldram`s approach reminds slightly of Michael Gira. Eventually it could
be admitted Simon Waldram is not an ordinary singer-songwriter whose album
under the Gothenburg-based imprint 23 Seconds makes fairly difference. Indeed,
simple approach could be ingenious. However, to find it out it is quite hard
work to do.
